Peters promotes political candidates from the pulpit, blurring the lines between church and state.
Focusing on abortion as their galvanising issue, evangelicals have helped elect successive Republican presidents - even Donald Trump in 2016 who, despite widespread criticism of his moral character, championed the causes of the Christian right. His friend, Greg Locke, was inspired by the resistance against Covid lockdowns, bolstered by congregants angry at the government for forcing churches to close. He now has his own studio where he films a webcast called Faith, Family and Politics, and recently launched a media company.On Halloween night Locke lit a bonfire and burned "objects of sorcery and witchcraft," including Catholic rosaries and Harry Potter books.
This is what's fuelling an event known as the ReAwaken America Tour, which attracts tens of thousands of people as it crisscrosses the nation.
No way.....😂🤣😭
Soon as he shows up, he's got the job!
Let old how carry it
SeperationOfCurchAndState
Not going to lie ever since we started putting in pedophiles groomers and mentally ill people in the White House clearly y'all need Jesus. And I'm not religious. 🙄
Well a secular society can have relegious parties; in te Netherlands and in Europe there is a multi party system a bit more choice than a binary one why not ? There is a religious one over here as well there are many options to vote for. But just a two party system seems limited
Ignorance of truth is no excuse BBC, get off your soap box and face facts, God is in control and one day you will face him
They put God into gov’t back in the 1950’s when they changed our motto to “in God We Trust.” This is a violation of separation of church and state. We need to go back to our founders motto “E pluribus unum”.
🤣
God wants absolutely nothing to do with any of this shit! The U.S. is fucked!
That would be wise
For awhile now
It says “In God we trust” on the dollar and nobody complained...
Handmaid’s Tale is going to be a reality over there soon.
Fuck that
Well he will never show up any way
They had Jesus in for a while every time Trump did something everyone one said “JESUS CHRIST” ! So I thought that was his real name DonaldTrump Biden
Not nearly as many atheists in the US as compared to the UK . You would be shocked
Americans let me guess there from Texas
Better than the lgbt cult in government
Your original colonists were religious weirdos chased out of Europe for their weirdness. Somehow that weirdness took root and the country still maintains that element. 😂😂😂
This is rather disturbing.
The king said to the priest keep them stupid and I’ll keep them poor.
Pour too many up the cappa flack and you'll go becking to the Blackman.
We don't want to put God into the US gov't, we want to put Him back in our counsel.
Isn’t god everywhere?
Our government needs God
That means a difference between CHISTIANITY & it's other chapters such as METHODISM, CATHOLICISM, BAPTISM, ANGLICANS, PENTACOSTALS ?
Wanting to put poison in the government
Not good. They don't know history.
They are NOT Christian. They have NO idea what it means to be Christian.
Religious people are crazy and keep getting crazier all because some middle Eastern guys that thought the Earth was flat wrote some books
Without cross, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, there's no Christianity. For the fact that Christ died and resurrected, there's hope for everyone who believes in Christ. Salvation is available for all who would come to God by accepting Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour.
It’s the fuckin start of The Handmails Tale!!!!
They'll have to wait until Jesus returns. At that time, He'll rule in grace, mercy, compassion, & blessings for all those in love with Him.
Christianity, as all religions and ideologies, has its extremists. The real concern is the characterization of all Christians as the lunatic fringe.
may be possible if god gives good heart to the presidents of USA to stop arms trade and stop policing of waging war countries and stop making bread out of other human lives , as there are good humanitarian ways available.
No absolutely NOT!
Long, deep, slow Sigh as if practicing lamaze breathing techniques. Breathe through the pain. afrdiasporanews kengandanation DrMumbiSeraki RealDLHughley rolandsmartin rickeysmiley
Good work may God bless them abundantly
Separation of church and state. 🙄
And yet they just can't understand why we call them Nazis...
So is he the one carrying the cross then? I thought he had better hair!
The question, is which God, because the God that's running this Government now is not going to bow down without a spiritual fight to concur our souls.
Good luck to them.
…wait… isn’t that anti semetic or some shit?
They're saying they're getting concerned about the immigration, white law failing, God's Bible disappearing. I thought God was there for every colour. They've got a cheek, wasn't the first American White's immigrants !
Ridiculous
they are going to use religion..just like the Crusades did... when they went on their pillaging ... raping & killing in God`s name
Mightiest country in the world
It’s worked well in the middle east 😂😂👍
And you say nothing about the Islam takeover of the UK government.
Now i wonder which of the 3000+ man made fictional gods that they want to put into US gov.? Thor?
Religion should be kept out of politics unless you want to be like Iran
This is true, but where's your just as true story on Muslim nationalists who want Islam as part of government? Why just single out Christianity?
Just what America needs. A bunch of drooling Bible thumpers with guns.
All we need is more fake imaginary friends in DC.
First of all Christians are not right wingers! We Christians occupy the center, the Lord God is on the right! Everthing else like the Communist Democrats(who are socialist) and the Nazi Right(who are also socialist) are all on the left! Conservatives are in the center!
These people are not christians. Wolves.
‘With God on our side.’ It doesn’t bode well…..
Muslims want to put their 'prophet' into English girls and young women in the UK.
Nazi that coming
Correction Christian Supporters , not Holy Family.
God is everywhere and cannot be contained.
GOD DAMN THEM I SAY.!! SEPARATION OF CHURCH AN STATE.!! SO WHAT RELIGION WOULD THEY PICK. THERE ARE HUNDREDS.!!
Good luck amending the US Constitution
They think Donkeys and snakes can talk!😂
They believe in only 1 out of 18,000 gods that people have imagined. I only believe in 1 less - we aren’t so different after all
Cult
Nobody's superstitions should be in any government.
Booo. Hissss. No. And I am a Christian who even attends church.
God has always been in our government. Read the Pledge of Allegiance.
People came here for freedom of religion. It needs to remain as such, or it's no longer democracy.
Religion and politics do not belong under the same category. Quit this utter nonsense
Make their churches pay tax then. Backdated as well
its already there duh
Too late. God has been part of the usa government for a long time now. On the usa dollar, it says 'in God we trust'. All governments grew out of a religion. Look at Iran, their religion hates and kills women. Christian religion is a lot better.
Why do they think their Deity has ANY place in the political undergoings of a nation? If you are religious, you keep it to yoursef. End of.
3,300 recognised Gods. Which one?
All we need… God meddling in politics 🤷♂️
The NATC s
Didn't they already did that
Want to live in a Christian theocracy? Move to Afghanistan.
Would live to see how that pans out
It must be fun in America right now. A choice between Christian nut jobs or gender nut jobs
Why do people want to “put god” here and there? If they truly believe an almighty god exists, then they should perhaps acknowledge that his almightiness allows him to be wherever/do whatever he pleases, no need for mere mortals’ help?
A more accurate headline, BBCnews.... Christian nationalists wanting to use government to target those who won't conform to their religious tenets.
Gross. No thanks.
That last thing the US needs is religious beliefs being the reason ridiculous choices are made on everyone's behalf. This would essentially go against freedom of religion for non-Christians because we'd have to abide by the rules because it's 'God's plan'. Absolute insanity
Gods, regardless of their non existence, have no place in politics.
No they don't - they want to harm others out of pride. 'And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.'
Religion is a disease
It just goes to show you, the effects of a poor education!
In the words of Maynard James Keenan
NO!
What a fabulous idea, but why God when there are so many more interesting fictional characters to chose from, like Harry Potter. What a bunch of crazies 🤔
I have never heard this.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Everyone worships 'a god' when they should be worshiping The God.
Typical cultists.
Have they asked God first? Consent.
well, do keep me informed if they find him, but if they do, I cant imagine he will say yes
Fascist
As a Christian myself, I find that, that is an appalling idea! Religion and politics should not be mixed at govt level, AT ALL!
What about the other gods
Might as well be the tooth fairy.
Daft. God already is ingrained in USA constitution & Coat of Arms (?)
russellhoward
Nothing wrong with that, Christians of many demonisations settled there, were the pioneers there, built the nation, their laws are based on Christian values, good for them. content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/16712817045381913291067.jpg
The issue going here is spiritual. Good against evil.
Sounds like a great idea!
They should first put God in their hearts. Separation of Religion from State is an absolute necessity. Pastors should tend to the sick, work with children from broken homes, drugs addicts etc..
They'll have a job, given there is no such thing
Wow.
In God We Trust ✝️
Lol and yet they do not realize how much paganism makes up Christianity. The common image of the cross is more than likely not even the shape of the cross used in the crucifixion.
BBC sits and scoffs at other countries. Looking sniffly down its privately educated noise at both British subjects and US citizens alike. While we have bishops sitting in the House of lords.
Is the phrase 'UNDER GOD' not in the USA Constitution?
Guns and God. Like the Taliban
For people thinking like this I'd recommend the following: Paul Freeman - Early Middle Ages lecture 5: 'St. Augustine' The reason Christianity survived the fall of Rome is because it managed to become something unbound to the rise and fall of states, secular if you will.
That would not work. The bible says. The world governments are working with the devil.
Jesus Christ what nonsense will those cowboys think up next?
Fundamentalist religious fanatics seeking theocracy.
The sooner the atheists take control of this planet the better
Good grief as if we didn't have enough to deal with. Religion is full of corruption. Oh ! I see it now
I always found the cross a strange symbol. If I was God, which I might be you never know, I'd be a bit annoyed. They're kinda celebrating the Romans rather than god I think. Be like celebrating trump by wearing a ballot paper. Or a box of files.
What were they before
They've already got lgbt, blm and climate change lol there's no room for any other religions
A very dangerous movement. Religion and politics should never mix.
BBC won't tell you that the UK's Head of State is also the Head of the Church of England.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought they wanted trump.
AbolishReligion AbolishAbraham
Right wing?
USA ppl making there self look so dum
Religion had always been a real problem. Not being able to tell the difference between reality and fantasy is dangerous. It usually results from childhood indoctrination or a traumatic life experience that makes people retreat into make-believe.
religious fundamentalists no different to ISIS or Al Qaeda or the Taliban you mean
They should maybe put God in their own lives first!!
These are the same people who bleat on about the constitution, which specifically mentions the separation between church and state.
Think you mean white Nationalists. 😉
BBC having a meltdown over the past 24 hours.
These people really need to wake up in the 21st century or seek out serious mental health therapy. Racists, bigots, misogynists and fascists is what these people are. There is no place in government for that.
Easter Bunny for Secretary of State
Usa the new Iran While Iran is trying to move away from a religiously oppressed government the USA is moving towards one
They're not real Christians. They're fascists.
Religion shouldn't exist in the 21st Century.
I believe in Father Christmas more than God
Terrifying. Religion and state should always be separate.
Why are we subsidising this propaganda? It's clearly a hit piece against social conservatives not fully onboard with our Brave New World.
Good.
Was in New York a few days ago, didn't like what I saw for the most part. If I was an American I'd be incredibly worried about the present state of that city. So I can certainly see where this is coming from
What a desperate cry for help. Things must be really bad 😢elonmusk
Whose version of god? Catholic? Evangelical? Lutheran? Protestant? Baptist? Mormon? Quaker? Salvation Army? Mine? My next door neighbour’s? Oh they mean their specific interpretation of god which they use for their supremacist ideology.
These people are no Christians.
Probably going to get a lot of flak for this but all religion is just bullshit.
Politics and religion don't mix.
Space alien for president
May God assist those trying to stop them.
Do they have a similar thing as ‘sectioning’ in the US ?
🔵 ...rather then Spanish Inquisition, this could turn into American Inquisitions 🔹...torture and murder anyone, for whatever reason. °👁️
Religion has no place in politics.
Absolute scenes when they realise that God isn't real...
Definitely an empty seat there then … he doesn’t exist in this life or any other you May imagine there is, bright side one less politicians wage
As far apart as the east is from the west, that is how far Christianity must stay from the political office. What the papacy did during the dark age will be repeated when christians engage in politics. Joe Biden is Roman Catholic & see the chaos USA is in.
Christian Nationalism is just a disguise for Christo-Fascism.
A Holy War is the only thing that's going to change America back to America Period!We must put Almighty God first through Jesus Holy Name in every thing we do.
God doesn't exist.
Too late. Government already converted woke religion.
What could possibly go wrong 🤔 Taliban
Ie God part of WEF?
To make a Godernment? Sounds crazy.
إن الله يحب من يحبه من قلبه وبكل قوته ويذكره في نفسه والناس في كل أحواله
It's on their money.
فكرةممتازة ولكن الله لن يكون بنفسه إلامع إسرائيل حيث كانوا ولكن وضعه في قلوبنالنتنفس به ونعلم باليقين أنه للجميع كماخلق الجميع ولكن حب بني إسرائيل ويسوع نقدمه على أنفسناجميعا
It appears that the Islamic Republic has murdered AidaRostami. A doctor and a freedom fighter who had been treating the injured protesters in secret so they're lives can be saved from IR. As regime forces are put at hospitals, they're not safe for the protesters. m MahsaAmini

I thought they wanted Donald “Dickhead” Trump. He thinks he is god.
Sounds like every Republican that's ever existed.
I think people might rally behind this. Having an ateistic Government was acceptable, having an outright satanistic government that is mocking christian values is not.
Don’t bother
Not sure why this propaganda piece talking about the US is posted on BBC News (UK).
🤮🤮
Religion has no place on government
Which God?
Praise be
Middle Age dreams in the 21st century.
in contrast to left wing islamist extremists ?
